LOYAL fans are clinging on to hope amid their pain after Bradford Bulls suffered defeat and their first relegation in Super League history.

Despite the inevitable loss fans have vowed to keep up their support for the beleaguered club with many belting out "Bradford 'til I die" as the team trailed behind Huddersfield Giants at yesterday's game.

The final score was 52-26 to the Giants, meaning the city is out of the top flight for the first time since 1974.

Bradford are the second founder members of Super League to be relegated after London Broncos' drop into the Championship was confirmed a week ago.

Roaring fans refused to give up their chants of encouragement and devotion as they watched their team get thrashed at the John Smith's Stadium in Huddersfield - and the end result was being grasped by many as the chance of a new start for the club with the only way being up from now on.

Choruses of "Every little thing's going to be alright" was the reassuring message coming from the fans' standing by their team.

There was a glimmer of possible victory in the first half when three times the Bulls took the lead, but the second half saw them struggle and eventually lose their brave fight to stay in the top league.

The defeat is the culmination of several years of off-field problems for the Bulls, which went into administration for the second time in 18 months in January.

He said: “It is clearly an issue that relates to the morale around the city, but I think that in the current climate, while we have so much positive things going on in the city, it would be a real disappointment to me, as a rugby league fan but also someone who lives in Bradford.

“I hope they will bounce straight back up.”

Former Bulls owner Omar Khan said it was a "sad, sad day for Bradford Bulls."

"I'm gutted, but not surprised. I'm gutted because I spent £1 million of my own money to ensure that we had a winning team that would stay in the Super League," he said.

Bradford South MP Gerry Sutcliffe (Lab), a former director at Bradford Bulls, said: “It is disappointing, but the good news is that there is a team there that can be relegated. It was in danger of going out of existence.

“People need to gather round and support the team now.”

He added: “I think they need to bounce back straight away.”

Bradford East MP David Ward (Lib Dem) said yesterday's defeat was "a tragedy and a shame" and added: "My heart bleeds for the incredible passion of the fans who have stuck with them through thick and thin and I'm sure will keep on doing so."

And he said he believed the way forward for the club was for it to ground share with Bradford City at Valley Parade.

"It's not popular but it's the way forward in terms of economics for the game and funding," he added.

Next season will see a major restructure of the domestic game whereby the Bulls would need to overcome Super League opposition in an end-of-season play-off series in order to win promotion back to the top flight.

A spokesman for supporters trust BullBuilder, which aims is to support the Bulls and in particular the young players at the club, said: "While next season’s structure offers a pathway back to Super League, differences in salary cap between the competing sides will mean that it won’t be possible to buy your way back.

"With the relative cost of young players coupled with salary cap exemptions, the Academy represents our strongest hope of getting the first team back where we want to see it.

"We urge everyone to get behind the effort to return to super league, and to get behind BullBuilder."

Fans were also showing their support for the new management behind the Bulls, Brian Barton, 65, from Odsal who saw his first Bulls match back in 1964 said: "My heart has been broken but at least the club is still surviving. I'm glad Marc Green has taken over."

Paul Jackson, 49, from Leeds added: "Out with the old and in with the new. The only way is up."

People are still blaming green for the loan that Khan took out from the Council. He is blamed for not signing lots of players when nobody actually wanted to come - such as Kaufusi who would rather be in the stand than with us. Diskin stated in an interview that they have tried to sign many players but they were not interested. He is also blamed for not doing the stadium up. WOW, there are some idiots come on here!
Green has only been here a couple of months and saved the club from being wound up due to taxes not being paid.
It is the people in the years before he took over that need ridiculing. We overspent while winning trophies and have now got our comeuppance.

I am as loyal a bulls fan as you can get but admit it is our fault not the RFL . We should be demoted and earn our place back in SL. I have a feeling that Green will be the hard nosed businessman that this club has needed for years. We will build again on solid foundations.

If I had taken over when Green did I wouldn't have thrown good money after bad when it was clear we were down. I would keep it and clear out the dead wood and bring in a new coach and tell him to sign players who will bring us back up stronger. I am from the Peter Fox era when he brought in grafting players who gave 100% and achieved success. Many of this squad need to go and be replaced by better players - not necessarily better known - just like Foxy did. A complete new start is needed from the academy up.

It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

Like you I`m sure Green just wanted to get the season over without putting the club deeper in the s**t by spending money we did not have. Next year he will have money to manage from central funding and like you I hope he is the business man this club has needed at the helm who will not spend more than the club can afford on unrealistic forecasts of income. We deserved to go down and maybe its a chance to strip the dead wood out and start a fresh with realistic goals. Like you say ignore the trolls they contribute nothing.

I'm not trying to wind anyone up by saying this but I honestly think getting relegated is a good thing. You've now hit rock bottom so the only was is up now.
This gives you chance to offload a lot of the dross you have acquired as you simply can't afford them. Also Bulls seem to have forgotten how to win and have developed a loser mentality. They've lost before a ball is kicked and this is felt by the fans. A year in the championship where you'll be winning every week and playing well is just what everyone involved with the club needs.
When you get promoted next year hopefully you will carry the momentum and positivity forward and look at a play off finish or just SL safety.

What a sad. sad day, but we got there at last. Drip, drip, drip torture.
Well done R.L. You've just put one of the best supported clubs in the game out of business. Have you forgotten that this club playing well can take 12k+ supporters to away games, can Rugby League really afford to loose them? How on earth can Bulls ever get promoted? We all know how difficult that can be. They have one chance, and then only if they stay at Odsal. If not bye, bye Odsal and bye, bye Rugby League in Bradford for ever. Am I wrong to think that Koukash didn't get the club because there was a chance that they might stop up if they had?
It's been one big not so hidden agenda, coming to a conclusion.

Why have you given Khan and Sutcliffe airtime but not asked serious questions to how they got into this position? Also loyal fans, they have left in their droves. Barely 6k turn up.

Could also ask why do they allow you to comment on here? Its got nothing at all to do with you. Thought you already knew how they got into this situation so what difference would it make to you what anybody else said? 6000 loyal fans is 6000 loyal fans What's your issue now? Also Outsider what's the problem with the boundary sign. Just cos we've been relegated doesn't mean we weren't world champions. We use the term "Home of the Bronte sisters" when promoting Haworth.

At least the waiting is over & fans & players know where the club will be next season.

David Green is a corrupt buffoon, showing no contrition for the abuse of public money he allowed.

Khan didn't leave money in the club to see it through as claimed & he didn't invest £1m. Sutcliffe didn't put in a penny of his own money, so what right has he to comment?

The whole Labour group in Bradford needs to be held to account.

The Bulls will come back. Salford & Castleford both managed to bounce right back by staying full time.

This is the time where Marc Green's intentions will be revealed. Is he going to stick around or prepare an exit?

What a sad. sad day, but we got there at last. Drip, drip, drip torture.
Well done R.L. You've just put one of the best supported clubs in the game out of business. Have you forgotten that this club playing well can take 12k+ supporters to away games, can Rugby League really afford to loose them? How on earth can Bulls ever get promoted? We all know how difficult that can be. They have one chance, and then only if they stay at Odsal. If not bye, bye Odsal and bye, bye Rugby League in Bradford for ever. Am I wrong to think that Koukash didn't get the club because there was a chance that they might stop up if they had?
It's been one big not so hidden agenda, coming to a conclusion.

Not this again. The RL have not 'put one of the best supported clubs in the game out of business'. The various numpties who have ran the club at different times have done that. Poor performances on the pitch have done that.
'Have you forgotten that this club playing well can take 12k+ supporters to away games, can Rugby League really afford to loose them?'

This must have been, if it ever happend, many years ago. They can only manage 6k at home at the moment so yes the SL can afford to lose them. Talk about delusions of grandeur and a sense of entitlement.

'How on earth can Bulls ever get promoted?'

By winning matches and topping the Championship. Simple really.

'Am I wrong to think that Koukash didn't get the club because there was a chance that they might stop up if they had? It's been one big not so hidden agenda, coming to a conclusion'

Another wild conspiracy theory. Koukash pulled out because she/he didn't want to take on the debt and couldn't satisfy the creditors. But no, you carry on with the 'worlds against the Bulls' mentality.

We know you prefer the licencing system. The one the Bulls defaulted on twice in the last two years by going into administration. Whats the say the Bulls wouldn't have been kicked out anyway. leigh at the moment are far more deserving of a super league place.

Don't you get at Huddersfield for barely getting 6k fans, now when the Bulls are in the same boat that figure is suddenly impressive.

The point of Huddersfields crowds which you drag into the argument (even tho the poster did not ) for some reason is that when the Bulls were as succesful as the Giants are now the crowds were at least double that 6000 so in reality for a team that is plumbing the depths that is a good crowd surely.

A sad day that could have been avoided if Green had actually done something with this Club; there has been no investment in the team or ground.

The man talked talked a good game but has not delivered; we have not even paid off any of the creditors any of which could still serve a wind up order on the club and force us into admin again.

we need to build now for next season and I for one are not going to hold my breath, we are a mid table championship club at this rate.

People are still blaming green for the loan that Khan took out from the Council. He is blamed for not signing lots of players when nobody actually wanted to come - such as Kaufusi who would rather be in the stand than with us. Diskin stated in an interview that they have tried to sign many players but they were not interested. He is also blamed for not doing the stadium up. WOW, there are some idiots come on here! Green has only been here a couple of months and saved the club from being wound up due to taxes not being paid. It is the people in the years before he took over that need ridiculing. We overspent while winning trophies and have now got our comeuppance. I am as loyal a bulls fan as you can get but admit it is our fault not the RFL . We should be demoted and earn our place back in SL. I have a feeling that Green will be the hard nosed businessman that this club has needed for years. We will build again on solid foundations. If I had taken over when Green did I wouldn't have thrown good money after bad when it was clear we were down. I would keep it and clear out the dead wood and bring in a new coach and tell him to sign players who will bring us back up stronger. I am from the Peter Fox era when he brought in grafting players who gave 100% and achieved success. Many of this squad need to go and be replaced by better players - not necessarily better known - just like Foxy did. A complete new start is needed from the academy up. It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

First rate post, but i dont think people on here blame Mr Green for loaning the money to OK but i do feel he only put the club into admin to try ensure he got some of if not all his money back,also i do question whya lub that is effetivly in te championship need an MD CEO etc etc,
Moving on we are down so lets take that in our stride and aim for a qiuck return to SL,

It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

Like you I`m sure Green just wanted to get the season over without putting the club deeper in the s**t by spending money we did not have. Next year he will have money to manage from central funding and like you I hope he is the business man this club has needed at the helm who will not spend more than the club can afford on unrealistic forecasts of income. We deserved to go down and maybe its a chance to strip the dead wood out and start a fresh with realistic goals. Like you say ignore the trolls they contribute nothing.

So why did Green lie to the fans, and say he would do all he could to ensure the club stayed in SL ? If he had put in his best efforts then surely he would have invested money in new players. Other than buy the club, he hasn't invested any money in the club at all, even before he knew we were relegated let alone after he knew. Don't tell me there are not any players out there, as other clubs have signed them. He would also have brought a new coach in straight away. But no he has done nothing. All he has done is buy the club on the cheap. And as for players not wanting to play for the club (Kaufusi) that is down to their lack of belief in the coach. I assume you "anti-trolls" will say that this was his game plan all along, get relegated and then rebuild the club, This makes no sense what-so-ever, any sensible businessman wold protect his investment not destroy it. He knew what he was buying, and he knew he needed to throw money at it, if he didn't want to do this why did he buy the club and promise the fans he would do all he could to keep the Bulls in SL. I think the Bulls will struggle in the championship, which will prove his gamble was a very bad one. Looking at the process of relegation and promotion, we have absolutely zero chance of promotion. So it shows how little he looked at the rules before he decided not to invest a penny. After 2 years in the championship Green will be off, and we will be looking for new owners again.

Because throwing money at a club ensure success doesn't it? Tell me more about why Cas and Salford are currently in thier respective positions.

He's invested no money at all. Hmm, can someone point me in the direction of whoever did up the new club shop for free? I wouldn't mind them doing some work for me either. Admittedly this doesn't help us on the pitch, but is does show that "He's invested nothing" is complete rubbish. (I'll wait for the "well that's going to solve everything isn't it?!" style comebacks.)

Other clubs have signed players. Well yeah, other clubs that weren't staring relegation in the face. London have signed a few, but they're no better than anyone that we've got or re-signed. And as you even pointed out yourself, there were potentially perfect good other easons players didn't want to play for us (apart from the fact we've been getting panned almost every week. That sounds great fun.)

The running costs to be competative in the Championship aren't as high as they are in SL. We don't have to be competing against the likes of the Sinfields, Ashton Simms etc. IF the funds required to be competative in the Championship are more within our capabilities, then it makes perfect sense. Time will tell.

Green has only been here a couple of months and saved the club from being wound up due to taxes not being paid. It is the people in the years before he took over that need ridiculing. We overspent while winning trophies and have now got our comeuppance. I am as loyal a bulls fan as you can get but admit it is our fault not the RFL . We should be demoted and earn our place back in SL. I have a feeling that Green will be the hard nosed businessman that this club has needed for years. We will build again on solid foundations. If I had taken over when Green did I wouldn't have thrown good money after bad when it was clear we were down. I would keep it and clear out the dead wood and bring in a new coach and tell him to sign players who will bring us back up stronger. I am from the Peter Fox era when he brought in grafting players who gave 100% and achieved success. Many of this squad need to go and be replaced by better players - not necessarily better known - just like Foxy did. A complete new start is needed from the academy up. It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

Like you I`m sure Green just wanted to get the season over without putting the club deeper in the s**t by spending money we did not have. Next year he will have money to manage from central funding and like you I hope he is the business man this club has needed at the helm who will not spend more than the club can afford on unrealistic forecasts of income. We deserved to go down and maybe its a chance to strip the dead wood out and start a fresh with realistic goals. Like you say ignore the trolls they contribute nothing.

So why did Green lie to the fans, and say he would do all he could to ensure the club stayed in SL ? If he had put in his best efforts then surely he would have invested money in new players. Other than buy the club, he hasn't invested any money in the club at all, even before he knew we were relegated let alone after he knew. Don't tell me there are not any players out there, as other clubs have signed them. He would also have brought a new coach in straight away. But no he has done nothing. All he has done is buy the club on the cheap. And as for players not wanting to play for the club (Kaufusi) that is down to their lack of belief in the coach. I assume you "anti-trolls" will say that this was his game plan all along, get relegated and then rebuild the club, This makes no sense what-so-ever, any sensible businessman wold protect his investment not destroy it. He knew what he was buying, and he knew he needed to throw money at it, if he didn't want to do this why did he buy the club and promise the fans he would do all he could to keep the Bulls in SL. I think the Bulls will struggle in the championship, which will prove his gamble was a very bad one. Looking at the process of relegation and promotion, we have absolutely zero chance of promotion. So it shows how little he looked at the rules before he decided not to invest a penny. After 2 years in the championship Green will be off, and we will be looking for new owners again.

Because throwing money at a club ensure success doesn't it? Tell me more about why Cas and Salford are currently in thier respective positions.

He's invested no money at all. Hmm, can someone point me in the direction of whoever did up the new club shop for free? I wouldn't mind them doing some work for me either. Admittedly this doesn't help us on the pitch, but is does show that "He's invested nothing" is complete rubbish. (I'll wait for the "well that's going to solve everything isn't it?!" style comebacks.)

Other clubs have signed players. Well yeah, other clubs that weren't staring relegation in the face. London have signed a few, but they're no better than anyone that we've got or re-signed. And as you even pointed out yourself, there were potentially perfect good other easons players didn't want to play for us (apart from the fact we've been getting panned almost every week. That sounds great fun.)

The running costs to be competative in the Championship aren't as high as they are in SL. We don't have to be competing against the likes of the Sinfields, Ashton Simms etc. IF the funds required to be competative in the Championship are more within our capabilities, then it makes perfect sense. Time will tell.

It is incredible that the T&A should look for quotes from Omar Kon and Sutcliffe MP. This is the first time in a long time that Sutcliffe has had anything to say about the Bulls. Ask yourself why he went so quiet so quickly after the Bulls demise? Probably because he was involved in a clumsy ruse to raise his profile locally. If he was truly honest and full of integrity he would fully disclose his involvement, including his financial stake. As for Omar Kon, we are still waiting for him to make his full public statement and take the court action against those he alleges wronged him he promised. Why doesn't the T&A pursue on those matters?
These are not the only two culprits in the demise of the Bulls.
Consider others as partly responsible.

What a sad. sad day, but we got there at last. Drip, drip, drip torture.
Well done R.L. You've just put one of the best supported clubs in the game out of business. Have you forgotten that this club playing well can take 12k+ supporters to away games, can Rugby League really afford to loose them? How on earth can Bulls ever get promoted? We all know how difficult that can be. They have one chance, and then only if they stay at Odsal. If not bye, bye Odsal and bye, bye Rugby League in Bradford for ever. Am I wrong to think that Koukash didn't get the club because there was a chance that they might stop up if they had?
It's been one big not so hidden agenda, coming to a conclusion.

You should try and live up to your name and wake up, get a pulse and stop tripping along with the others.

The RFL didn't put the Bulls down, garbage managements did. The points deduction is part of the rules and the clubs know this. Since the relegation came back, two clubs had to go and l very much doubt Red Hall were conspiring to get rid of the Bulls.

Then above it is me tioned the council didn't do enough. Well l think the council have done far too much in aiding the Bulls.

And the Bulls are not unique world champions, they are one of many.

People are still blaming green for the loan that Khan took out from the Council. He is blamed for not signing lots of players when nobody actually wanted to come - such as Kaufusi who would rather be in the stand than with us. Diskin stated in an interview that they have tried to sign many players but they were not interested. He is also blamed for not doing the stadium up. WOW, there are some idiots come on here!
Green has only been here a couple of months and saved the club from being wound up due to taxes not being paid.
It is the people in the years before he took over that need ridiculing. We overspent while winning trophies and have now got our comeuppance.

I am as loyal a bulls fan as you can get but admit it is our fault not the RFL . We should be demoted and earn our place back in SL. I have a feeling that Green will be the hard nosed businessman that this club has needed for years. We will build again on solid foundations.

If I had taken over when Green did I wouldn't have thrown good money after bad when it was clear we were down. I would keep it and clear out the dead wood and bring in a new coach and tell him to sign players who will bring us back up stronger. I am from the Peter Fox era when he brought in grafting players who gave 100% and achieved success. Many of this squad need to go and be replaced by better players - not necessarily better known - just like Foxy did. A complete new start is needed from the academy up.

It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

Back in our day I'd imagine the 12k wouldn't be far off the mark, at least for you bigger games (Wigan, Saints and towards the back end of our prime, Leeds) but we're a long way off that now. At least they're planning sensibly this time round though. Not the whole Pie in the Sky 10k season ticket stuff. Plan sensibly, run it properly and we'll claw our way back one way or another, even if it does take time.

I am from the Peter Fox era when he brought in grafting players who gave 100% and achieved success. Many of this squad need to go and be replaced by better players - not necessarily better known - just like Foxy did. A complete new start is needed from the academy up.

It is clear what needs to happen but it will not stop the s**t for brains trolls enjoying themselves on here in the coming months.

Like you I`m sure Green just wanted to get the season over without putting the club deeper in the s**t by spending money we did not have. Next year he will have money to manage from central funding and like you I hope he is the business man this club has needed at the helm who will not spend more than the club can afford on unrealistic forecasts of income. We deserved to go down and maybe its a chance to strip the dead wood out and start a fresh with realistic goals. Like you say ignore the trolls they contribute nothing.

So why did Green lie to the fans, and say he would do all he could to ensure the club stayed in SL ? If he had put in his best efforts then surely he would have invested money in new players. Other than buy the club, he hasn't invested any money in the club at all, even before he knew we were relegated let alone after he knew.

Don't tell me there are not any players out there, as other clubs have signed them. He would also have brought a new coach in straight away.
But no he has done nothing. All he has done is buy the club on the cheap. And as for players not wanting to play for the club (Kaufusi) that is down to their lack of belief in the coach.

I assume you "anti-trolls" will say that this was his game plan all along, get relegated and then rebuild the club, This makes no sense what-so-ever, any sensible businessman wold protect his investment not destroy it. He knew what he was buying, and he knew he needed to throw money at it, if he didn't want to do this why did he buy the club and promise the fans he would do all he could to keep the Bulls in SL.

I think the Bulls will struggle in the championship, which will prove his gamble was a very bad one. Looking at the process of relegation and promotion, we have absolutely zero chance of promotion. So it shows how little he looked at the rules before he decided not to invest a penny.

After 2 years in the championship Green will be off, and we will be looking for new owners again.

Relegation was always on the cards after the 6 point deduction and the loss of Jarrod Sammut, Nick Scruton & Gareth Carvell early in the season. In addition to this, the Bulls have had finacial problems due to mismanagement & only the half of the funding the other clubs received so no wonder we are where we are. I just wonder whether other clubs in the future will be punished the same as the Bulls by the RFL if they encounter financial difficulties or they change the rules! The Bulls will not easily forget the negativity from the RFL, other clubs & the knockers to rise from the ashes in the future, which indeed they will. Until that time, i too will be following the Bulls religiously wherever or whoever they are playing. Jimmy has made a solid impression on his return to Odsal so i am looking forward to seeing HIS team next year so the Buzz at odsal will slowly return. Come On you Bulls !!!!!

Not correct! They were a big part of the problem taking on the club without really having a clue how to run a rugby league club within its budgets. The real blame as we all know lies at the door of Hood, who was so seriously incompetent he tried to brush the debts under the carpet and hoped they'd all go away. I would be fuming if he was quoted in the T&A as well

It won't be impossible to get back up, look at how Leigh played against Leeds in the cup, the top teams in the championship can compete.

However, the odds are well and truly stacked against them.

However, if we have a great run of wins in the championship, we'll be full of confidence and feel positive, and we'll be playing teams in SL who are probably in a rut, low on confidence and expecting to lose. So there is an outside chance.

Still think top up/bottom down and then a 6 way play-off for the final place would be better though.

People are still blaming green for the loan that Khan took out from the Council. He is blamed for not signing lots of players when nobody actually wanted to come - such as Kaufusi who would rather be in the stand than with us. Diskin stated in an interview that they have tried to sign many players but they were not interested. He is also blamed for not doing the stadium up. WOW, there are some idiots come on here!
Green has only been here a couple of months and saved the club from being wound up due to taxes not being paid.
It is the people in the years before he took over that need ridiculing. We overspent while winning trophies and have now got our comeuppance.

I am as loyal a bulls fan as you can get but admit it is our fault not the RFL . We should be demoted and earn our place back in SL. I have a feeling that Green will be the hard nosed businessman that this club has needed for years. We will build again on solid foundations.

When did the Bulls last manage 12k for a home game, nevermind away.

What is your point? Yes the bulls crowds have been poor by their SL standards but even with a poor side they're getting crowds better than many of those above them in the table. Can you list me the 12000+ crowds of Hudds, Salford, Wakefield, Castleford, Widnes, Hull KR? Lets face it the RFL are killing the game. Crowds are down at every club. If Leeds and Wigan think they can afford to keep their stars on full time contracts whilst the other clubs go part time then will get a rude awakening. Sponsorship will keep getting smaller, all the top players will head to RU as RL retreats back into a part time northern sport. A 12 team SL isn't viable. Sky wont pay more money for that. Then it'll be 10 team SL to keep the top clubs happy , then 8 ,then none. When will the RFL wake up?

Absolutely spot on,the game is run by clowns. I agree with Bulls going down but a 14 team league is a necessity. It should be a 14 team league with 2 up and 2 down every season.

Just for the record.

THE CLUBS VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THIS CHANGE, YOU SAY IT'S NOT VIABLE BUT THE CLUBS VOTED IN FAVOUR OF IT.

Time to stop moaning about what you think it wrong, and allow those with far more knowledge who voted it through to see if it sinks or swims.

You're only saying it's the wrong decision because the Bulls aren't in it from the start. You wouldn't care less about the change if Bulls started next year in SL.

Am I wrong to think that Koukash didn't get the club because there was a chance that they might stop up if they had?
It's been one big not so hidden agenda, coming to a conclusion.

Grow up and stop blaming everybody else .If u got the 6 points back now u would still go down because you havent won enough games through the season ,its not rocket science.

Agree, pathetic journalism. Who with any sense would even speak to these Creatures??? Why have they never been asked where the money went? The Club has been run by Clowns and has got what it deserved. LIQUIDATION IN THE OFFSEASON?? The circus is not over yet folks.

Where what money went? The RFL took half the the central funding. Only 6000 season tickets were sold. away support was pretty poor so not many paying on the day.

The squad was kept full time somebody had to pay the bills. Omar put in a £1m in and lost it!!!

He wasn't prepared to lose anymore and when more was needed to pay the bills. he wanted to sell it on but nobody wanted to pay the price he valued it at. The result was administration.

The 1st administration wasn't his fault. the second administration was partly down to the 1st admin.

Nobody is saying Omar didn't make mistakes. he made plenty of them. He should have put a cheaper team together in 2013 and cut the costs so we could build for 2014. hindsight is a wonderful thing. But does anyone actually believe Omar took more money out of the club than he put in it?

Anybody not happy with those that are keeping the Bulls afloat then please step up and put your money where you mouth is. You pay for all the players wages, the training, the transport, the meals, the admin staff, the electric, the rent, the water, the ground running costs etc etc. Then when you've mortgaged your house and stepped aside people can accuse you of taking all the the money!!

I ask you again HOW MUCH MONEY DO YOU THINK OMAR TOOK? and please explain your maths

No investment, no points appeal, no new players = No SL next season.

the same rose tinted specs are being worn by the same people for Green that were on here praising OK as the Club's saviour.

Come on Green make a statement about what your plan B is for next season seeing as your plan to keep the Club in SL at all costs has come to nowt!

Omar put nothing into the club. He simply put in loanded money. The money to pay the wages announced as money from his propery portfolio was the money borrowed by Green. The following month if £1m was injected why were wages paid late? I tell you why because the £1m never existed it was to win over gulible idiots who sing his praises.

The slate was clean after the first admin. No creditors were to be paid back, all Khan took was a £600k hit in central funding and paid £150k for all the clubs assetts. Khan wasn't effected by the £1.2m central funding reduction because it was spread over 2 years so he didn't even feel the effect of year 2 as he was long gone.

There is non as blind as those who can not see.

Council money, Barclays loans, money up front from the RFL, this is what funded the club. Borrowed cash, meaning borrowed time. The rates weren't paid, creditors topped £1.2m after season ticket sales, sponsorship, gate receipts, central funding. HMRC weren't paid.
The slate was clean after the first admin. No creditors were to be paid back, all Khan took was a £600k hit in central funding and paid £150k for all the clubs assetts.

What is your point? Yes the bulls crowds have been poor by their SL standards but even with a poor side they're getting crowds better than many of those above them in the table. Can you list me the 12000+ crowds of Hudds, Salford, Wakefield, Castleford, Widnes, Hull KR? Lets face it the RFL are killing the game. Crowds are down at every club. If Leeds and Wigan think they can afford to keep their stars on full time contracts whilst the other clubs go part time then will get a rude awakening. Sponsorship will keep getting smaller, all the top players will head to RU as RL retreats back into a part time northern sport. A 12 team SL isn't viable. Sky wont pay more money for that. Then it'll be 10 team SL to keep the top clubs happy , then 8 ,then none. When will the RFL wake up?

Absolutely spot on,the game is run by clowns. I agree with Bulls going down but a 14 team league is a necessity. It should be a 14 team league with 2 up and 2 down every season.

Just for the record.

THE CLUBS VOTED IN FAVOUR OF THIS CHANGE, YOU SAY IT'S NOT VIABLE BUT THE CLUBS VOTED IN FAVOUR OF IT.

Time to stop moaning about what you think it wrong, and allow those with far more knowledge who voted it through to see if it sinks or swims.

You're only saying it's the wrong decision because the Bulls aren't in it from the start. You wouldn't care less about the change if Bulls started next year in SL.

If Ii remember correctly there was almost civil war before the motion was passed mainly to avoid red faces in the lead up to the world cup.

You think you know everything but you know very little. Anybody that actually knows me knows I am a RF fan 1st and a Bulls fans 2nd.

I want the game to expand that why i was a big fan of the SL concept. I do support my local club but given a choice I'd rather see the London Broncos be the SL Champions than the Bradford Bulls. It would be a massive boost that the game needs. After all I've seen the Bulls win everything in the past anyway!

You might think the RFL are doing a great job but you are very much in a minority. The Clubs owners will rebel again before too long. The writing is on the wall for RL and the RFL in particular and I'm not just saying that as a Bulls fan because to be honest i'm quite looking forward to next season

So after all that, even you aren't prepared to say Omar took money out of the Bulls!

I'm not saying he didn't make mistakes he made loads. I'm sure he did lose money though rather than STEAL money as some people seem to be suggesting

He had a go, failed and tried to get out without losing any more cash. Making mistakes isn't a crime at least he had a go when nobody else would. The Bulls are still in existence and maybe they might get back on their feet one day. If the RFL hadn't obstructed the Bulls so much after the 1st admin the 2nd admin might not have happened.
